This is the thread just about MTKDroid.

If you didn't have any backup you cannot do anythuing.

Find on the net if is available a ROM for your device.

Pelase don't post here anyway.

Open a thread for your device if is not available.

may i ask are we expecting an update for MTK DROID TOOLS v2.5.3 to work with the new 64bit SoC's now being shipped from china
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Did you have a new device with 64bit MTK CPU?

Please take care that on 4pda.ru is available a new MTKDroid.ini file to recognize the new MTK CPU.

The new INI file enable just the recognition of the new MTK CPU.

But MTKDroid didn't work with 64bit CPU due different ROM layout (chunk size).

Only rua1 can fix it.

You can get my update for MTKDroid 2.5.3d (new INI file/new adb tools/new apk like Root Explorer/SuperSU etc) here.

https://mega.co.nz/#!LEpQkaYT!UVEx2oNXFvS0Oi2diObatt4ahwF4w_Tx64ue675Qfks

I hope that rua1 release as soon as an update for MTKDroid.

i wanna tell everyone if anyone gets the error no split kernel found or zimage.

this is error for newer kernels coming with kitkat or lollipop.

mtk 2.5.3 was made before this launch so it don't support it till now .

just try with some other kernel images from internet . try the twrp installer.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] malick186:
Oh...finally got your problem...I am not a ROM developer but I had went through such type of problems when there is no specific ROM for my phone and i tried to flash a custom ROM of similar phone...there are couple of files which you need to port/patch to the custom ROM you are flashing from your stock ROM like baseband, modem.img, some lib files, etc (for more specific go to this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123239 and search for IMEI or cellular fix in Soltion link section) ...also went through the updater script and check that it have commands for errasing system and boot.img only and compare address with your scatter file too...and one more possible solution is to copy of the radio and nvram folder to your sdcard and then replace them once you flashed custom ROM which is messing with these files and rember the permission of all these files if you wanted to boot them successfully....thats all right now i came up with i cant guarantte that above mentioned solutions can resolve your connflict but its worth giving a try... if you succeed then kindly reply back which method works for you so other can take advantage also :angel:

I tried this with my Lenovo K3 Note - but it failed on userdata.img, with "File too large" :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlexZap:
Because your sd card probably has fat/vfat as a filesystem. The largest file size you can have is 4GB. On my jiayu, the userdata.img is 12 gig (16 gb memory, a 12 gb user data partition). You should probably use twrp or something. There is an alternative way to backup with adb to your computer, instead directly on your phone, but you need root and busybox on your phone, and either a Linux machine or cygwin on Windows.

backup script and theory

ok, here is a current version of my script... it is cleand up a bit. it only has been tested under linux so far (in a chroot on my chromebook no less!), so if you want to run it under cygwin or something else, good luck!

to run it, you need to have adb, netcat, and pipeviewer installed at a minimum (run mtk_backup.sh -h for some options).

your phone must be rooted at you must have a working version of busybox installed.

i have no way of pulling the scatter file from your phone as of yet, so you need to have one already. if you have a solution to this, please let me know.

none of this is really my own work... i am just putting together a bunch of things i have learned from all over xda and elsewhere. this is basically what is going on:

adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555

this starts adb and connects to your phone. it forwards the ports that ADB uses to something that the script knows.

adb shell su -c "nc -l -p 5555 -e dd if=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system" &

this uses adb to run a command on your phone. the command breaks down like this:

dd if=<blah>

this uses the dd command to dump a byte for byte image of a partition

nc -l -p 5555 -e

this uses netcat to pipe the output of some command over a network port. we are going to use adb's 5555 port. the command we are piping is dd

adb su -c "<blah>" &

this runs whatever command on your phone as a superuser. the command is netcat. the & at the end causes it to run in the background

sleep 5s

because of how fast the script runs, i needed to force a 5 second delay. if you are running the commands by hand, you don't really need this sleep. without it, the script fails tho, because the sending netcat is not ready before the receiving netcat is (the next command)

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 |pv -i 0.5 > system.img

pv -i 0.5 > system.img

using pipeviewer (pv) we get a nice little animation of the data flowing from the phone as it is dumped to the file (in this case system.img as that is the partition we chose)

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 |

using netcat again, on our local machine (127.0.0.1), and that adb port (5555) we recieve the file our phone is sending. the | is a pipe... otherwise it would just be printed out to the screen.

kinda confusing, i know. if you get errors or anything, try running

adb kill-server

before running the command.

i cant say whether this will work on your computer or not, or with your phone or not. it works with my jiayu s3. i haven't tried to restore with spflash_tools but they should. dunno how much i'd trust the preloader, though you shouldn't be flashing that anyway.

good luck!!

i followed the tutorial at the start of this page
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rua1:
Usually for preventing of the 8038th error on MTD type of flash phones it is necessary to replace in scatter the file __NODL_SECCNFG on __NODL_SECCFG . Аt your log too there is it. If after that there is an error 4050, it is necessary to replace USRDATA on __NODL_USRDATA

no, it isn't complete (MTD , system not correct). First, when CWM Downloaded, insert SD card and make backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hamzairshad:
what do you suggest? should i wipe data reset and read back the cache from test point? and then download CWM?

editing the scatter file didnt helped. still gettin 8038

0x1F5C0000

0x40000
